Waiting on Wednesday: Hunter's Trail - Melissa F. Olson

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

After getting another taste of Scarlet Bernard's world when I reviewed Sell-By Date, I'm waiting on Hunter's Trail by Melissa F. Olson!

Actions have consequences—a lesson Scarlett Bernard is learning the hard way. As a “null,” Scarlett has always been able to negate the powers of the supernatural beings that surround her. But now her reckless decision to permanently change Eli from a werewolf to a human has left the Los Angeles werewolf pack in shambles, and upset the balance of power among the city’s supernatural factions. To make matters worse, Scarlett’s employers discover that a newly changed werewolf is running amok in the city. To catch the rogue werewolf, Scarlett will need help from both Eli and Detective Jesse Cruz of the LAPD…a situation that will force her to finally choose between them.

However, Scarlett and her friends aren’t the only ones on the hunt—someone else is chasing the wolf. Someone with no reservations about collateral damage. Now Scarlett and her allies must stop both the rogue wolf and the deadly hunter before the full moon rises and all hell breaks loose.

Filled with the same suspense and wit readers loved in Dead Spots and Trail of Dead, this may be Scarlett Bernard’s most harrowing adventure yet…


The Scarlett Bernard series is one that I stumbled upon mostly by accident, buying the first book, Dead Spots, for a Kindle daily deal. After reading that book, I was hooked. Last year I reviewed the second book, Trail of Dead (here), and it left my wanting to know what would happen next. While I had momentarily forgot about the series during the wait, Melissa F. Olson sent me a copy of Sell-By Date (review here), which is a novella about Scarlett's roommate, that made me so much more eager to get my hands on Hunter's Trail. If you haven't read this series, I definitely recommend it for lovers of paranormal - the main premise of "nulls", those who can nullify supernatural beings, is such an original concept that is played out so well in this series. I cannot wait for this to come out!
